JAMES SOOTT.-=Mach surprise anl regret was felt on Friday morning las , on it becoming known that Mrs. James cott, jr., of Roxboro, had, that morning, pltssed away. Mrs. Seott had been con-flnel about twelve days previously, but seemed eo be getting along remarkably well and on Tuesday evening previous to her death was ale to take tea, with the family. That night, hawever, she .became suddenly ill, and, despite all that medical skill could do for her, she continued to grow rapidly worse until iFriday morning, when she pass- ed away. She was a young woman, being 27 years of age, and had only been married about eighteen months. She was a daugh- ter of Mr, Jehn Campbell, of McKillop, and was e remarkably clever and accomplished lady. Previous to her marriage she was engaged fo t several . years as a school teacher, and was very successful and popu- lar in that calling. She was much and de- servedly Wowed by all who knew her. She 'has been removedfrom a true and loving hus- baled, an intent a angli Ler, aad a pleasant home in Which she was surrounded by every com- fort, that thoughtful carecould devise, or almost heart could desire. But such are the uncertaiaties of life, and the inscrut- a,ble ways of an all wise Provideece. The sincerest sympathy that human 1 eart cayn bestow will be extended to Mr. Se tt in this the hour of the mostsevereberea,ve m ent which can befall a man in this life ; to the aged parents, v,nd to the numerous rela ives and friends.
